It was one of 1,200 items put under the hammer at a two-day auction to sell off the parts of the much-loved Cleethorpes site after its closure in 2016.

Many of the rides, including the Boomerang, Pendulus and Mini Mine Train, were sold last year, with some taken overseas, including parks in Asia.

The auction attracted international interest, with potential buyers travelling from as far as China to bid on the remnants of the beloved theme park, which brought visitors from near and far for more than 20 years.
